    So long and thanks for all the fish

    So sad that it should come to this

    We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

    You may not share our intellect

    Which might explain your disrespect

    For all the natural wonders that

    grow around you

    So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

    The world’s about to be destroyed

    There’s no point getting all annoyed

    Lie back and let the planet dissolve

    Despite those nets of tuna fleets

    We thought that most of you were sweet

    Especially tiny tots and your

    pregnant women

    So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

    So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

    So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

    (yeah)

    So long and thanks for all the fish

    So sad that it should come to this

    We tried to warn you all but oh dear?

    (oh dear)

    Despite those nets of tuna fleets

    We thought that most of you were sweet

    Especially tiny tots and your

    pregnant women

    So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

    So long, so long, so long, so long, so long

    So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

    On the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

    It’s either Corvids or Mustelids next.

    Dolphins have “issues” that would prevent them from progressing much further evolutionary speaking.

    Good thing we’re also filling the sea with plastic. Maybe by the time the polar ice caps are gone, we can replace coastal land with large plastic flotillas.

    Don’t think it is going to be an animal next if AI continues to grow at the pace it is. And that may not be a bad thing for life on the planet given our global impact track record.
